Quick Food Delivery Startup Swish Raises $24 Million

Quick food delivery startup Swish has announced a $24 million funding round, led by Bertelsmann India Investments (BII), to support its expansion plans. The investment will be used to grow its network of kitchens and establish operations in new urban areas.

Existing investors Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, and Hara Global also participated in the funding round. Swish intends to deploy the capital to deepen its kitchen network in current markets, expand into new cities, strengthen its supply chain infrastructure, and increase its order fulfillment capacity. The company aims to establish a network of over 1,000 kitchens within the next five years.

Swish reported that its monthly order volume has tripled since March 2026, surpassing one million orders. The startup operates its own kitchens, manages its technology, and handles its last-mile delivery operations. Its neighborhood kitchens are designed to serve customers within a one-kilometer radius, with a stated delivery time of approximately 10 minutes.

The company currently serves Bengaluru, Gurugram, Noida, Delhi, and Ghaziabad, covering nearly 50 pin codes. Swish claims over 80% of its orders are delivered within 15 minutes. Lunch and dinner have become its largest consumption occasions, overtaking snacks and late-night orders.

The funding comes at a time when the viability of ultra-fast food delivery services is under continued scrutiny. Several companies are re-evaluating their operations in this segment, with some exiting the market due to profitability concerns.
